From the depths of the thick fog, the low roar grew ever closer, as if it were about to burst forth from the darkness at any moment.
The ground trembled slightly, and the air was filled with a strong smell of rust and fish, which sent chills down one's spine.
Lin Yi gripped the medicine in his hand tightly, his eyes blazing with determination.
"This noise...something doesn't sound right..." Long Wu shrank back and instinctively hid behind Lin Yi.
Although he was full of confidence, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in the face of unknown threats.
The thick fog began to churn eerily, as if some enormous creature were moving through it.
A foul, fishy stench assaulted the senses, and the air was thick with the nauseating smell of rust.
Chu Yao's voice carried a rare hint of tension: "Powerful energy fluctuations detected. Immediate evacuation recommended!"
Lin Yi gripped the newly acquired medicine tightly, his eyes serious.
He could sense that the spacetime energy in the air was being frantically devoured by a mysterious force.
Another deafening roar followed, this time even closer.
In the thick fog, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly lit up, like two blood-red searchlights, exuding a bloodthirsty ferocity.
"Hurry, that thing has woken up!" The mysterious figure suddenly grabbed Lin Yi's arm, his voice filled with unprecedented urgency.
But Lin Yi did not back down. Instead, he met those scarlet eyes head-on, secretly calculating his countermeasures.
A gigantic, ferocious beast emanating an eerie glow burst forth from the thick fog.
Its body was like a huge rock, covered with sharp scales, and every step it took caused the ground to crack.
The giant beast opened its enormous claws and pounced on Lin Yi and the others, its sharp claws leaving cracks in the air as if it wanted to tear them to pieces.
Lin Yi quickly activated a spacetime shield to protect everyone.
The shield acted like an invisible wall, completely blocking the beast's attacks.
He said coldly, "Long Wu, go!"
Upon hearing this, Long Wu immediately took a deep breath, his aura suddenly increased, and a surge of true dragon bloodline power erupted from his body, transforming into a giant true dragon.
The true dragon that Long Wu transformed into soared in the sky, its roar shaking the heavens and its power awe-inspiring.
He unleashed a torrent of scorching dragon breath at the ferocious beast, and the intense heat of the fire instantly enveloped it.
The ferocious beast was struck by the dragon's breath, letting out a painful howl as its body trembled slightly in the intense heat.
But it reacted extremely quickly, trying to dodge the dragon's breath attack. Its body became blurred instantly, and it pounced on Long Wu at an extremely fast speed.
"Come on, let's see how I deal with you!" Long Wu laughed instead of being afraid. His true dragon form swayed and he easily blocked the ferocious beast's attack with his huge dragon claws.
Then, he swung the dragon's tail with all his might. The huge dragon tail was like a sharp whip, lashing the ferocious beast and knocking it back several meters.
The ferocious beast in the mist was sent flying by the attack, but it quickly regained its footing, its eyes flashing with even more ferocious rage.
It roared and pounced on Long Wu again, its speed so fast that it almost became a blur.
Lin Yi stood to one side, his eyes fixed on the beast's every move.
He quickly analyzed the situation, searching for the beast's weaknesses.
"Chu Yao, analyze the beast's attack patterns and find its weaknesses," he commanded in a low voice.
"Analyzing," Chu Yao's voice rang out quickly, her artificial intelligence capabilities rapidly scanning every detail of the ferocious beast in a short time.
After a short while, she said, "The beast's weakness is its heart, but its defenses are extremely strong, making ordinary attacks ineffective. I suggest using attacks with high penetrating power."
Lin Yi nodded, already having a plan in mind.
He swiftly drew a blade of time and space, which shimmered with the light of time and space power and was extremely sharp.
He silently chanted an incantation, and the light on the Blade of Time and Space became even more dazzling, as if it were about to cut through time and space itself.
"Long Wu, draw its attention, I'll attack its weak point!" Lin Yi shouted.
"No problem!" Long Wu responded, and the true dragon he had transformed into once again let out a deafening roar as it pounced on the ferocious beast.
He used his dragon claws and tail to entangle the ferocious beast, preventing it from escaping his attack range.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Yi quietly approached, the Blade of Time and Space following him like a shadow.
He suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the ferocious beast like a bolt of lightning.
As the ferocious beast resisted Long Wu's attack, Lin Yi's Space-Time Blade, like a sharp arrow, pierced the beast's heart with unerring accuracy.
The ferocious beast let out a deafening scream, its body convulsed violently a few times, and finally collapsed to the ground, no longer moving.
Lin Yi sheathed the Time-Space Blade, his breathing calmed down slightly, and a hint of determination appeared in his eyes.
"Well done!" Long Wu transformed back into human form, patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, and looked excited.
"It's not over yet, let's keep moving forward," Lin Yi said in a deep voice, his gaze already turned to the front.
Suddenly, Chu Yao's voice rang out again: "A passage blocked by mysterious energy has been detected ahead. The energy blockade needs to be lifted before we can pass."
Lin Yi frowned slightly, secretly making plans in his mind.
He looked at the mysterious figure and said in a deep voice, "Do you have any suggestions?"
The mysterious figure smiled meaningfully, "But as long as we work together, we will definitely find a solution."
Lin Yi nodded and was about to speak when a deep rumble came from the depths of the passage, as if some new threat was approaching.
"It seems the real test has only just begun," Lin Yi said softly, his gaze fixed firmly ahead.

(Continued)
The ferocious beast in the mist crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. The air was still filled with the smell of burnt food and a strong stench of blood, like a supercharged combination of a barbecue stand and a slaughterhouse.
"Phew... Done! This true dragon bloodline of mine is just that unreasonable!" Long Wu shook his hand, transformed back into human form, and looked incredibly smug, his mouth almost reaching his ears, as if he wasn't the one who had been howling and hiding behind Lin Yi just now. "How about it, Brother Yi, is my move worth a '666'?"
Lin Yi glanced at him, ignoring his comment, his gaze already fixed on the area revealed after the thick fog dissipated.
This guy's "coolness lasts only three seconds" rule is welded to his DNA.
Chu Yao's gentle voice rang out at the opportune moment: "The threat has been eliminated. The path ahead has been revealed."
"Let's go!" Lin Yi said succinctly, taking the lead.
The group continued deeper into the area, their feet treading on the still-warm ground mixed with gravel and animal blood.
We hadn't gone far when the view suddenly opened up...bullshit!
A dark, bottomless passageway appeared ahead, large enough for three or four people to walk side by side.
But damn it, the entrance was completely blocked by a layer of light curtain that shimmered with an eerie purple glow and swayed like jelly, leaving no room for airflow.
Countless tiny golden runes flowed across the surface of the light screen, like a group of drunken tadpoles dancing wildly, emitting a faint "buzzing" sound, and the air was filled with the tingling smell of static electricity.
"Holy crap! What is this? A barrier?!" Long Wu's eyes widened, and he instinctively leaned forward, reaching out to touch it. "It looks pretty bouncy..."
"Don't touch it!" Lin Yi and the mysterious figure shouted almost simultaneously to stop them.
Long Wu's finger suddenly stopped a few centimeters away from the light screen, and he could even feel the stinging and repulsive force brought by the energy at his fingertips.
"Uh...this looks intimidating." He withdrew his hand sheepishly and muttered, "Are you kidding me? We just finished defeating the boss and they put up a 'paywall'? The designers of 'Infinite' have really messed up their game!"
Chu Yao's electronic eye flashed red and scanned rapidly: "Warning: High-intensity energy barrier detected. The structure is stable and contains unknown spacetime rules. Forced breakthrough may cause unpredictable consequences."
Alright, this road is blocked.
The mysterious figure crossed his arms, watching the energy screen with great interest, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Interesting. It seems the 'Forgotten City' isn't so easy to enter after all."
Lin Yi didn't speak, but narrowed his eyes slightly, took a step forward, and stared intently at the golden runes flowing on the light screen, as if he wanted to engrave their trajectory into his mind.
